(id expect nothing less from Jessica Hische). Her text is insightful and easy to understand. This book shows off some great process work from start to finish. Id definitely recommend this book to anyone: From the beginner to the Pro.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Loved it.By sfoster95I first heard of Jessica on skillshare.com . I really like her lettering style and several people I have met recommended this book. I was hesitant to buy it only because I have so many lettering books and when I first saw this one it wasnt available on kindle. I am so glad I waited. I was able to get the kindle version and now I have another great resource at my fingertips; that isnt taking up precious space in my office.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A nice look behind the curtainBy Alex QAs a graphic designer; I love getting a peek at process. Seeing a bunch of shiny finished products is fun and all; but I like seeing the behind-the-scenes. Hisches writing is fun and wise beyond her age. Her experience as a public speaker comes across here. The examples are great to look at and clear. I wish there was more content to look at!
